All-Cut Offence

Late last night, we started wondering about the chances of putting together the 'best of the worst' in NFL terms. Of course, the players cut yesterday are far from 'the worst' in the NFL, but the fact that they are cut is a symbolic way of saying that they're unwanted.

Here's the Offence of the 'all cuts' Roster.

QB: Chris Simms (Tampa Bay)

RB: Rudi Johnson (Cincinnati)

FB: Jason Davis (Philadelphia)

WR: Roydell Williams (Tennessee)

WR: Reche Caldwell (St. Louis)

TE: Justin Peelle - (Miami)

OT: Willie Anderson (Cincinnati)

OT: Chad Slaughter (Baltimore)

OG: Adrien Clarke (Baltimore)

OG: Kynan Forney (Atlanta)

C: Dan Mozes (Minnesota)

Ah yes, the names just trip off the tongue don't they? Of the team, players such as Chris Simms and Willie Anderson should easily find new homes. Their reputation and ability is enough to get them a roster spot somewhere, and we imagine the fight for Simms could get interesting.

Even though the Bears have named Kyle Orton as starter, it would be a huge boost to the Offence if Simms was to land in Chicago. There is no doubt that he would be an upgrade at the position, and in fact, the team might be interested in Anderson as a stop-gap this year, while 14th overall selection Chris Williams recovers from his herniated disc.
